Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 20, 2024, Sunnova TEP Holdings, LLC (the “TEPH Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunnova Energy International Inc. (the “Company”), entered into that certain Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “TEPH Amendment”), which, among other things, amends that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2023 (as previously amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2024, the “TEPH Credit Agreement”), by and among the TEPH Borrower, as borrower, Sunnova TE Management, LLC, as facility administrator, Atlas Securitized Products Holdings, L.P., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto.
The TEPH Amendment amended the TEPH Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify certain eligibility criteria to allow for energy community, domestic content, and low-income community bonus investment tax credits (together “Approved Bonus Credits”). Domestic content and low-income community bonus credits will continue to require Lender’s reasonably satisfactory due diligence and the Administrative Agent’s prior consent when including such Approved Bonus Credits in a final true-up calculation or tax return for any subject tax equity fund.
The foregoing description of the TEPH Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the TEPH Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
